Some very good bargains can be had on eBay. Perhaps a used nikon 80-200 f2.8?

As people have said, gofer a flash, but make sure you know how to use it to get best results and consider a small softbox as well as it might not be possible to bounce the flash in that environment.

Definitely take, and use, both. You'll want the 50mm the prime for night shots. When i went to New York, i didn't have my own SLR at the time and borrowed a friends 300D with an 18-55mm. The 18-55mm was fine, you definitely need the 18mm to capture the huge scale of everything. If I were you...

Have you looked into shooting with a prime? It can be a different shooting style than using a zoom for some uses. For example street photography, you have to zoom with your feet, so you may find that you miss shots or they aren't framed right if your not light on your feet and see the shots...

I use a lowepro passport sling, it's great because I can carry my D300 with a grip in the expandable section, then when i put the bag on and get the camera out I can zip up the collapsable part of the bag and it's nice a compact. But It can still carry my 80-200m, flash and a spare slide in...

I think your taking about something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Time-Lapse-Intervalometer-Remote-Timer-Shutter-for-Nikon-D3100-D3200-D90-D600-UK-/221331284688?pt=UK_Photography_DigitalCamAccess_RL&hash=item33885f62d0

As psenior said, you are looking for something with a short throw, or if your budget can stretch, an ultra short throw. Where I used to work, we had some from SMART that could project on a 58" board from about a metre away and at a dramatic angle, so the projector can be hidden away bellow the...

I agree with this, I share a a common library between iPhoto and Aperture. I tend to import from the camera into iPhoto, then use iPhoto to scan through the images and 'deadhead' the bad ones because I find iPhoto is quicker for sifting through images, Aperture sometimes takes a few seconds to...

Yes happily, when you are advising someone of what you would personally do in a situation you have not yourself faced, it is quite common to give advice as thought you where in their position assuming their role. Does that cover it? As someone who deals with difficult people all day, I find...

Just to emphasise the point, this is what a laser of low enough power that it can be shone into a crowd can do to your camera's sensor... If you planning to have a go, make sure you camera is protected.

Have to say, while the vest have their place and uses for pro's at venues and events, for walking around I wouldn't wear a vest any more than I would draw a bit target on my back. To carry my second lens and a flash, i picked up a Lowepro Passport sling, looks ok, plenty of storage for...

Personally I'd have told the registrar I'm a professional with a job to do, and I was going to stand where I wanted, I appreciated the floorboard warning and would try not to move, but at the end of the day the couple are paying you to do a job and the registrar didn't like it she could go out...

I'd tell the tog that you will either take a full refund, or a partial refund maybe less 10% if he throws in the drive. Use the refund to send the drive for recovery, and offer to sell the recovered drive back to him for the 10%.

If it's only the odd occasion, and it's purely a matter of pride. i.e you don't like people seeing them unprocessed, a half done job. You could offer to give them processed versions of the pics they chose to nick. Personally, if I where in the biz, i'd also be taking the pics off dropbox and...
